Document Summary

A zygote, a single cell formed by the amalgamation of an ovum and sperm, and divides into two daughter cells which continue to divide. Developing neurons accomplish these 3 things in 5 phases: induction of the neural plate, neural proliferation, migration and aggregation, axon growth and synapse formation, neuron death and synapse rearrangement. Capable of developing into any type of mature body cell. A fertilized egg is totipotent, but lose this after 4 days of embryotic development and begin to be specialized. Developing cells that can develop into many, but not all, classes of body cells. New cells become more and more specialized. Eventually, new cells can develop into different cells of only one class. Multipotent: capable of developing into a limited number of types of mature body cell (ex: different kinds of blood cells) Unipotent: developing cells that can develop into only one type of cell (ex: bipolar neurons)
